Limits

How many requests a minute, and what happens past it.

Each key is counted on its own: 300 requests a minute per key. An assistant connected over MCP counts against your account the same way.

Every answer says which limit applies:

RateLimit-Policy: "standard";q=300;w=60

Past the limit, the answer is a 429 with the code rate_limited and a Retry-After in seconds. Wait that long, then carry on.

If you are building something that needs more, write to Le Council. It can raise a key to 600 or 1,200 a minute.

Spending fewer requests

  • Read /teams, /modifiers, and /arenas once, not per request.
  • Send If-None-Match with the last ETag (see Responses).
  • Poll a game’s events with after, and only while it is live: /live lists what is.
